Louise was busy preparing for the evening ahead, she couldn't quite believe that she'd invited them round to her home well she never really thought about how it would turn out but hoped for the best.
Her next door neighbours children were playing in her garden she often babysat as their father was sometimes away overnight or longer periods in the day for work.
Louise stopped and shouted for the boys "Boys I think your dads home so off you go home"
"Aw but can't we stay please" the youngest child whined and grabbed hold her hand.
"Your dad will want to get your dinner on and anyway I've got stuff to do here" Louise slowly walked the boys to the front off her house.
"But you're a way better cook than he his" the eldest stood their with a massive grin on his face as if that would persuade her to change her mind.
"Home now!" Louise didn't really want any children of her own and definitely didn't want other people's children getting to attached for their own good.
Just before shutting the door Louise saw a large taxi pull up outside her house.
Sandra,Esther and the boys decided to share a taxi as it was easier so nobody had to drive.
"Hey come in, come in" Louise greeted everyone with a kiss.
"Go straight ahead into the dinning room" Louise followed the group into the dinning room.
"You've got a lovely house Louise" Esther couldn't believe that such a young girl had such a Huge home.
"Aw thank you, right shall I get you all a drink then I'll serve the food"
"Here I'll do that" Sandra took over the drinks side of things whilst Louise started to serve the food.
When everyone had their food in front of them they all dived into the delicious looking meal.
"So how can you afford a place like this?" Gerry had always wanted a house in this area but could never afford it so there was no way she payed for it on her police wages.
"Gerry don't be so bloody rude" Sandra kicked Gerry under the table.
"Honestly it's fine I'd rather you ask me what you wanted to know than watching what you say to me, but um my aunt left me a rather large sum of money so I moved here and got the car but I wanted to keep working I like being a police officer" Louise looked around as they were all smiling and laughing away, she couldn't believe she was sat in the same room as her mum let alone her others friends.
Brian looked around for pictures of children as he'd seen the boys go next and assumed they were hers.
"You ok Brian?" Louise wanted to make sure that they had everything they wanted and felt welcome in her home.
"You said earlier you had no children so who were the lads going next door."
"Oh they're my next door neighbours their mums no longer around and their father has awkward working hours so I look after them sometimes they were so welcoming when I first arrived, if the boys were mine then I'd of been 15 when the first one came along"
Just as Louise had finished explaining the situation about the neighbours the doorbell went.
"Sorry I'll just go get that" Louise excused herself from the table. The gang continued their conversation while Louise saw to the people at the door which was in fact her neighbours.
"Sorry I hope you don't mind us turning up like this but the boys were wondering if we could come round for tea" Pete only just managed to get the words out whilst nearly getting lost looking at Louise's beautiful tight fitted dress.
"um sure, I mean how can I say no to an adorable face like yours" for a second Pete was hoping that she was talking to him but of course she was talking to his youngest. Louise picked up the three year old and walked into the dinning room where the gang were sat chatting but stop mid conversation when Louise came back into the room with a man and three boys.
"Um everyone this is Pete and his kids, pete this is my mum and our work mates"
"Sorry you should've said that you had guests round" pete thought tonight would be the moment that he could ask Louise out for a date.
"No is fine come and join us the more the merrier" Sandra stood up to get Pete another chair.
"Boys do you want your dinner in the games room so you don have to listen to the boring grown ups" Louise helped the boys to take their dinner into the games room.
"You've got a games room" Gerry was shocked considering she lived alone.
"Yeah best room In the house, you'll have to come round and see it some time" Louise looked up to a grinning Gerry and toke that as the answer that he'd definitely be back.
"So Sandra what do you think of your daughter, she's a credit to you don't you think?" Pete was keen to make a good impression considering he was meeting the mother of the woman that he loves.
"So everyone keeps tell me, no but really she's great I can't wait to get to know her even better" Sandra looked proudly towards her daughter and winked at her across the table.
